Vietnamese VinFast Partners myTVS to Step Up India Presence

Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast has announced a strategic partnership with India’s automotive service provider myTVS to expand EV service network in the country.

The collaboration will see the rollout of 120 Extended Service Workshops, offering charging infrastructure, after-sales service, and dealership support in metropolitan cities as well as Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations.

Focus on After-Sales Support

The move is aimed at bolstering consumer confidence in EV ownership by delivering global-standard service and support. The workshops will integrate VinFast’s sales and service model with myTVS’s technology-enabled automotive servicing platform.

“Our partnership with myTVS highlights our long-term commitment to India and our focus on delivering outstanding customer experience,” said Pham Sanh Chau, CEO, VinFast Asia. “By building a strong service infrastructure, we aim to support India’s shift to sustainable mobility and foster trust with our customers.”

Commenting on the partnership, myTVS CEO Natarajan Srinivasan said, “This collaboration will help VinFast scale up quickly, leveraging our technology-driven after-sales platform. It also reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, transparent, and accessible automotive services across India.”

VinFast Expanding in India

VinFast is expanding its manufacturing capabilities in India. In addition to the partnership with myTVS, it has also invested in the country with a facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu where the company planned to invest INR 4000 crore, spread over 5 years.

Backed by a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Tamil Nadu government in January 2024, the company is investing USD 500 million over five years. The facility is expected to produce up to 150,000 EVs annually and serve as a key hub for its regional operations.

VinFast has already introduced two electric SUVs in India – the VF 6 and VF 7 – equipped with smart displays, AI-based features, and over-the-air software updates. The company plans to replicate its integrated approach in other major markets across Asia, North America, and Europe.

India’s electric vehicle market is witnessing rapid growth, with EV sales projected to rise 40 percent in 2025 to 138,606 units, up from 99,004 in 2024, according to a recent Frost & Sullivan report. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) continue to dominate, accounting for 99.9 percent of the total market share.
